I move amendment No. 18:

In page 16, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following:"(c) on any local authority owned land in the area on the development of social housing.".

This section of the Bill allows the revenue from the levy on local authority land to be spent "on the provision of housing" in the local area. However, it fails to specify that the levy can be used for social housing. If we are going to impose a levy, it would make sense to allow the proceeds to be used for social housing as well as other forms of housing.
